The New Managerial Mentor Becoming a Learning Leader to Build Communities of Purpose

Effective mentoring is no longer a teacher-learner relationship but has become a collaborative learning experience based on connection and mutual influence. By transforming themselves into learning leaders, managerial mentors can serve as stabilizing forces in times of chaotic change, offering a fresh sense of shared purpose and direction for the organization and an unparalleled learning opportunity for the individual. Stories from such diverse industries as insurance, banking, health care, and manufacturing illustrate how learning leaders are helping their organizations develop workplace environments that are rooted in diversity and opportunity, and positioned for growth and prosperity.
